The Kansas City Hornets?

With the Supersonics looking to go to OKC, this could pave the move for us.

The Boston Globe is reporting that if the New Orleans Hornets don't average close to 15,000 fans in home games starting with tonight's contest against the Lakers through all home games until February of 2009, the franchise will be allowed out of their lease with the New Orleans Arena by the State of Louisiana.

If that happens, the Hornets would be allowed to move if they choose, although owner George Shinn would likely owe close to $100 million in penalties, making a move less likely. The Hornets have averaged an NBA-worst 11,871 fans this season through 15 games. Potential suitors could include Oklahoma City, Kansas City and Las Vegas. If this happens, it could be great news for fans of the Seattle SuperSonics
